REPORT: Dodgers and Brewers the 'Most Serious' Contenders to Land Manny Machado

Manny Machadohas made it clear that his future does not include the ​Baltimore Orioles. Since his true wishes came to light, speculation has run wild with where the superstar will wind up before the trade deadline.

With Machado's contract up after this season, Baltimore will have to work quickly to get a trade done if they want anything in return for the star infielder.

Well, according to Ken Rosenthal, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers are the two 'most serious' teams in the sweepstakes.

#Dodgers, #Brewers most serious for #Orioles’ Machado, sources tell The Athletic. #Indians also in mix, though taking on rest of Machado’s $16M might be obstacle. Question remains: Will O’s ownership view offers practically or slow down process by asking for other players?

Perhaps the team most in need of Machado is the Dodgers. The only problem seems to be Baltimore's hesitance to pull the trigger on a deal. No team will know if Machado will stay with them after this season, but are still offering good deals, such as the Dodgers dangling two of their top 10 prospects. There may not be a better offer coming to the Orioles for a player who is essentially a rental.

While nobody knows where yet, a Machado trade will be coming soon. The Orioles have been stubborn thus far, but they will eventually break.
